One of the more interesting diplomatic cables leaked over the past few days was a directive from the Department of State, signed by Secretary Clinton which sanctioned U.S. diplomats to obtain through clandestine means, information about senior United Nations officials at UNHQ in New York!

The cable provided the full text of a National Human Intelligence Collection Directive (NHCD) on the United Nations as well as a request for continued DOS reporting of biographic information relating to the United Nations. They also asked for current technical specifications, physical layout, and planned upgrades to telecommunications infrastructure and information systems, networks, and technologies used by top officials and their support staffs.

Naturally the liberal media muppet machine blew this out of proportion as if it was apparently "news" that diplomats obtain information on each other and other countries; something that has been going on since before the word diplomacy was created. The terrorist and founder of Wikileaks, one Julian Assange was interviewed by Time magazine, via Skype from an undisclosed location where he called for the resignation of the Secretary Clinton.

UN officials have expressed dismay, but accept this sort of thing as a fact of life. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon thanked Clinton "for clarifying the matter and for expressing her concern about the difficulties created" when she spoke to him at an international summit in Kazakhstan on Wednesday. Clinton did not formally apologise but neither did Ki-moon make any condemnation and the matter is now considered closed thus defeating Assange's evil agenda.

On The Daily Show, Jon Stewart played a clip of Secretary of State Clinton being asked by a reporter if she was embarrassed by the leaking of these cables, to which Stewart answered: "Where were you in the 90's? The woman is married to this guy [displays a picture of former President Bill Clinton] ...and you think THIS embarrasses her?"

Is this supposed to be satirical or are you sincerely suggesting that we should not care about governmental violation of international law and that reporting breaches of international law constitutes terrorism?

Luke buddy, if you have to ask then the Colonel has done his job right. ;)

Of course this is a satirical site, no one could be as insanely right wing as the Colonel appears to be online. No its all a facade, in the real world the Colonel is a very liberal tree hugging hippy type, who is committed to ending the don't ask, don't tell policy for his own reasons futhermore these are not the droids that you are looking for.

Satirical? Not in the slightest. My problem is the imbecilic naiveté that people are displaying by not believing that this didn't happen on a daily basis, it's like none of them have read a history book and the media are taking advantage of this by blowing it out of proportion and feeding international negativity towards the people that keep us safe from harm [The U.S.].

Members of the UN who were being spied on are quoted as saying that none of this is surprising to them because they've always known or assumed and they operate on a daily basis under this assumption. Remember UN diplomats are not scanned and searched like other people. How hard do you think it would be for a terrorist or a terrorist sympathizer at least to wrangle his way into a low-level but diplomatically immune position in the UN? Exempt from searches, arrest and incarceration? That's scary as hell. If the US was stupid enough to let these people walk about totally unmonitored after 911 then they'd deserve another attack.

This is a fact of life and nothing has changed. If the Secretary General of the UN is satisfied with Secretary Clinton's explanation of her directive without even so much as a condemnation of her actions that should be good enough for people and we can move on with life.

As for the terrorist Julian Assange? No, reporting breaches in International Law does not constitute terrorism. Had Assange brought his evidence to an international court or to the UN itself directly and anonymously presented it like normal people would, that would have been noble act and I would stand here and praise him for doing what he thought was the right thing to do.

The reality however is that Assange is a self-important egotistical demagogue who has carefully released his information in such a fashion to maximise global chaos by revealing secrets that are secret for a reason. Do you think the Gulf States wanted their opinions on Iran voiced? They're very lucky Ahmadinejad is an paranoid imbecile who doesn’t believe Wikileaks. Do you think China wanted volatile neighbour N.Korea to know that they'd have no issue supporting a Seoul-ruled reunited Korea? Suppose Kim Jong Il or the little boy taking his place feels he's being backed into a corner? It's not like they need an excuse to start shelling people and they do have bigger shit than artillery shells. This is all to say nothing of the blood on his hands following the release of the military documents he released in the summer.

I hope the Russkies find him before the Yanks, 'cos Americans are sometimes inclined to take prisoners.

Let's not forget Luke as well as what the colonel wrote about , the U.N is a awash with nutjobs and incompotents itself....the Hypocrisy of the U.N can be summed up by the time I visited it in 97, on display is a magnifcent carving presented to the U.N from China , it is vast and detailed and was created specifically for the U.N , problem was it's made from solid IVORY?!?!? A substance whose dealing in is condemned by the U.N , the tour guides response when I put this question to them "Well we had to accept , I mean we didn't want to offend the Chinese!" Offend the Chinese? What about the bloody elephants?? this is the U.N that in 2002 refused in a general vote to condemn Anti Semitism as a bad thing! This is the U.N That allows the President of Iran a Holocaust denier and a man who imprsons his own people when they look for Democracy a voice at the U.N (and condemned diplomats who walked out as being intolerant?). This is the U.N who allowed the Massacres in Rwanda to happen because it would have made Koffi Annan look bad in peace talks had they intervened. This the U.N who allowe Koffi Annan's ( Who was Chairman of the U.N at the time)son make profits in trading with Iraq when U.N trade sanctions were in place. The U.N is a fine Idea set up after the war to ensure nothing like the Holocaust could happen again but when you look at the hypocrites ,nut Jobs and Idiots who run the place , would you seriosly blame Cliton for getting information on them.

I've just realized what a visionary that Bill Clinton truly is, all the lying, cheating and general whoring around was to prepare his wife so that she would not be embarrassed when something like the wikileaks happened. The man is a genius!

Okay (By the way who the hell is paladinsword?) the joke is over! I expect the Colonel to write about this later this morning Assange (everybodys favourite alleged rapist!) published a list of secret facilities that are considered vital to U.S security....now Luke can say what he likes about violations of International Law but what the hell is this???...there is no reason to print this list except you have a super ego like Assange who considers America to be Arrogant ( Which he has stated) strangely the same view Osama Bin Laden has! If you want to print what you feel are violations of human rights, good for you , but to publish a list of sites considered vital to the Security of a country is crossing a line from which there will be no return...Last week I posted a comment half joking the Colonel should do something ...now I'm not sure we should joke about this prick anymore because what he is doing is deadly serious.

About Me

Years of being dropped on the head as a child has led me to believe that I'm a U.S. Marine General, a senior officer of a UN unit dedicated to defending the planet from things that the world doesn't believe exist. My spiritual beliefs are those formed from the work of George Lucas whom I consider to be a deity. Politically, I'm a right-wing authoritarian and believe diplomacy is achieved by those with the bigger gun. I enjoy listening to scores from movies and TV, watching action, military and sci-fi movies and television, playing 3D shooters and RPGs on the PC, reading comic-books and I adore the impressive sound of my own voice. I recorded 2IGTV; an award-nominated Podcast with my friend Mark centred on news from the world of popular culture which ran for 64 Episodes between '05 and '09. As an actor I've appeared in two major Irish short films and the pilot of a web-series. I've something to say about almost everything and you've made the wise choice of coming here to benefit from my vast wisdom, knowledge and ego - enjoy!

THE GENERAL'S RATINGS

No Star: The greatest load of shit ever, no redeeming qualities. It's creators are blacklisted and will be shot on sight if they don't redeem themselves before I meet them. Seriously - Dear God why?

1 Star (*): Awful crap. A complete waste of time. Should not have been made.

1.5 Stars (*1/2): Bad movie. I'm not happy about having paid to see this.

2 Stars (**): Dissapointing. Not that good at all except for perhaps a few select scenes or elements. I'll choose not to see this again.

2.5 Stars (**1/2): Glad I saw it, but ultimately not good enough. I won't turn it off if it appears on TV, but I'll have it on while doing something else, just to wait for the cool bit I remember.

3 Stars (***): Meh! Middle of the road movie. Balance between love and hated. May watch this on TV years later / may not.

3.5 Stars (***1/2): Enjoyable, but I would need to see it again, possibly on TV before I would purchase it.

4 Stars (****): Extreamly good. I would prefer to watch this again on Blu Ray a year or two on rather than see it on TV, but...

4.5 Stars (****1/2): Several minor flaws but not enough to distract you from excellence. Most likely will be added to my BD collection.

5 Stars (*****): An outstanding work of art. Practically Flawless. To be added to my BD collection.

5 Star Plus (*****+): One of the finest examples of it's genre.
Flawless. Automatically becomes part of my BD collection upon release.

EXEMPTION GRANTED: To be granted an exemption, a movie has literally to be amongst the greatest movies of all time. Examples include Robocop (1987), The Matrix (1999), Mission Impossible 2 (2000), Transformers (2007) and Iron Man 2 (2010). For religious purposes it is accepted that all Star Wars movies are exempt by default and cannot be reviewed.
